Sorry for asking an obvious question, only asking because sometimes the obvious gets over-looked . . . .
You did use the two "washer like" bits of formed metal between the battery and the battery's screw hubs?
They are more than just "spacers", they make a ground connection between the board's ground plane and the back of the display frame.
It looks as if that connection could be very intermittent if they where not used, enough to shift when the device was picked up.
